Natl/'re and Oly'eots of my I n'z'eu tion.

The first part of my invention relates to a revolving bar arranged to roll on two supporting straps or cords, and provided with a guard or guards, to prevent its running ott' or being removed from them, and the second part relates to the balancing on such a bar, a toy, or other object or person, to revolve with the bar for amusement, or exercise in gymuasiums, etc.

Figure 3 shows the end of a bar arranged with a pulley for a cord or rope.

A is the bar.`

B B, the supporting straps held at the ends.

c c the guards so arranged that the bar turns freely in them, but cannot slide endwise, the guards passing over or around the straps which. pass between them and the bar, so that when the bar rests on the straps` it may roll freely on them, or when reversed the guards hang on then and allow the bar to turn freely in their loops.
